Myanmar’s junta, which suffered casualties and attacks in two far-flung regions controlled by ethnic armies this week, has been frustrated in its effort to revive moribund peace talks with powerful militias who won’t play ball with the unpopular military dictatorship, analysts and ethnic leaders said.
In Chin state, a rugged, poor region near the border with India and Bangladesh, the junta lost some 15 troops in an ambush Monday by a militia formed three weeks earlier to oppose military rule, while other Chin fighters wielding home-made rifles staged guerrilla-style attacks on army convoys.
